UNC Continues to Roll, Defeat Johns Hopkins in Overtime

After a shaky start to the 2013 season, UNC won its fourth straight game thanks to a overtime goal just six seconds into extra time by junior R.G. Keenan as the Tar Heels defeated the Johns Hopkins Blue Jays 11-10. After back and forth action for the majority of the game, UNC was in prime position for the win after a Jimmy Bitter goal put the Tar Heels up 9-7 at the beginning of the fourth quarter. However, a three goal run topped off by Blue Jay senior John Greeley's tally with 4:36 to play, found UNC on the wrong side of a 10-9 score. Yet UNC would rally to tie with a minute and a half to go when Tar Heel senior Davey Emala scored his third goal of the game to tie it at ten all. That set the stage for Keenan's heroics in OT, where the junior won the opening face-off, sprinted down the field and scored the game winner for just his second goal on the season. The win moves North Carolina to 7-3 on the year while the loss moves Hopkins to 6-3. UNC will look for its fifth straight win when it travels to play ACC rival Virginia, while Hopkins will look to rebound when it hosts Albany.
